FreudianSlippers posted:I appreciate that action comedy not based on any IP or franchise is a thing again but I also feel like The Fall Guy would work better with the same central concept, a stunt double has to hunt down the star he's doubling in the Hollywood underworld, would work better as a neo-noir thriller. The Fall Guy is based on an IP: The 80s TV series with Lee Majors.

I saw Lee Majors in a film the other day: the very bad 2022 renegades about old SAS guys fighting...australian gangsters in London? Anyway, it's spectacularly inept on literally every level and kind of worth watching on that basis. You can tell exactly what kind of film they wanted to make and they fail at every single turn. It's not so bad it's good, but it is interesting to see such an amazingly poorly made film

Watching Jackie Chan's Miracles for the first time (it's on Max and Criterion) and just losing my poo poo during the first really big fight scene at the rival gang's base. Just gonna have a huge grin for the entirety of this movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmYvleesq-Q&t=140s

While it doesn't reach the heights of The Man From Hong Kong or Dead End Drive In, Brian Trenchard Smith's Deathcheaters is a watchable bit of Australian kitsch about stuntmen roped into an action movie plot. Also, the first feature credit for cinematographer John Seale (The Hitcher, Fury Road, Rain Man, The Talented Mr Ripley, a bunch of early Peter Weir movies).

It's like a magical rom com that also explodes into an elite tier fight scene every thirty minutes or so.

I haven't seen that one yet, but I will. Trenchard Smith has had a fun career. He made a pretty good Vietnam movie called Siege of Firebase Gloria in the 80s and a pretty bad but entertaining remake of the old Bogart movie Sahara starring Jim Belushi of all people in the 90s. About ten years ago he made a fun hangout/crime movie called Hard Drive or Drive Hard with John Cusack.

I've shown the YouTube of the rope factory fight to many, many people, as an example of creativity and comedy in action that we simply don't get much of in the last few decades.
